Two killed near Tipasa in Algeria

El Watan, Ech Chorouk, El Khabar (EN): Two people, a civilian and a customs officer, were killed and decapitated in the village of Bayou between Aghbal and Gouraya on the night of the 14th June 2006. The civilian was the brother of a current GSPC guerrilla. According to Ech Chourouk, a police investigation is currently attempting to determine whether this crime was committed by the GSPC or was motivated by personal rivalries; according to El Watan, not only was this crime committed by terrorists (they don't mention the GSPC by name), but the civilian's brother was among his assailants.
